Thanks Nevanna, these are really good suggestions. at one point I kept a "success journal", but I've kind of let that slide, so yes, getting back to that is a good idea.
I try to let him know when he does something "good"....but probably about almost everything EXCEPT when he does something that's reassuring (although I have thanked him when he leaves notes about where he's going, asks me to go somewhere with him, etc.) You're absolutely right about how important that is to do...I'm really going to keep that in mind and focus on it this weekend.
So far things are pretty good today, I go home at noon, so am looking forward to just having some "down time"....I hope hope hope he doesnt do paperwork this weekend.
